Is Facebook a phishing scam site?

This morning when logging into Facebook via Google Chrome I received a warning notice indicating that the social network site maybe a phishing site.



I was a bit sceptical at first and tried to login again but received the message again, I then clicked 'proceed' and was logged in. I get no error message when I use Firefox but according to an article on Techcrunch the problem also occurs in Firefox. The domain name that is causing the problem is 'http://fbcdn.net' which is registered by Facebook.

Have been a few reports of it happening in Safari also, seems like it may be something to do with the roll out of Facebook connect.


Twitter is a buzz with this
